Dementia Care

Specialized dementia care aims to minimize the impact and symptoms of dementia while providing comfort to both the individual and their family. For those living with dementia, a change in routine or environment can be very unsettling. This is why an increasing number of families are opting for home care instead of residential care, allowing their loved ones to remain in the familiar surroundings of their own homes rather than moving to a nursing facility.

What is dementia?

Dementia is an umbrella term that encompasses a range of progressive conditions and symptoms that impact memory and cognitive function. The underlying cause of dementia is abnormal changes in the brain, which comprises billions of nerve cells or neurons that communicate via chemical signals. When neurons are damaged, communication between them is disrupted, affecting all bodily functions. Initially, symptoms may be mild, but over time they can become severe enough to impact daily life. The symptoms experienced by an individual with dementia depend on the specific parts of the brain affected and the underlying disease causing the condition.

Dementia care at home

Whether you just need someone to check on your loved one first thing in the morning and help with personal care or breakfast, or continuous live-in care to make sure they’re safe during the night, you can be assured that our fully-trained carers will be on hand to help whenever you need them. They can also assist with other areas, such as:

  • Medication support

  • Helping with mobility

  • Facilitating hobbies, activities, and social interaction

  • Preparing meals and tending to household tasks

How do you care for someone with dementia?

It can be challenging when your loved one is struggling with memory loss, especially as they may have difficulty recalling significant people or events in their life. However, there are ways you can support them, such as by communicating through their identity, including their background, interests, and hobbies. To assist you in this process, we’ve implemented use of Life Story Book that can help you capture and reminisce about your loved one’s memories. As your loved one’s condition progresses, they may require increasing levels of support. By involving them in everyday tasks, you can help them feel useful and maintain a sense of self-worth. At Helping Hands, we stay current with all developments in dementia research and nursing practices, ensuring that we remain a dementia-friendly organization. Our nursing team and carers continuously strive to provide the best possible care and treatment for those with dementia.

Facilitating hobbies and interests

Being diagnosed with dementia doesn’t necessarily mean losing interest in hobbies. However, those living with dementia may require some assistance to continue engaging in their interests. For instance, your loved one may still enjoy reading a newspaper every day, but could find it challenging to go to the local shop. Helping them out by quickly picking up a copy means they can stay up to date with current events and not miss out. By enabling your loved one to continue enjoying their interests, they can still have mental stimulation and experience pleasure.
